Such a fun, not scary float! - This was the perfect first rafting experience for most of us! They wear some fun, yet short distance rapids for a sense of adventure. In between there were some calm spots through beautiful scenery. Oaks was our guide. He showed that safety was his first priority, he was efficient with his instructions and guidance and he was productive in showing us a good time! He was funny and very personable!

Perfect for kids - It was a fun ride, great for kids. Out guide, Lauren, was so great, she made it fun and had us do a paddling technique to spin down an easy rapid.

Awesome family adventure!!! - We had an absolutely amazing time on the lower river tour with our kids and my Dad. It wasn't scary at all for our 6 year old. It's perfect for families with little ones. The scenery was so beautiful and the water felt great! Our guide Ryan was awesome he made sure we had a great time and he was a super nice guy. We hope we get lucky enough to be able to have him as our guide next time!

Large company but not that organized - We did the lower Pigeon which has class 1 and 2 as we had an older and younger rider. It was fun but a bit tame for the teenager. Nice scenery. Our guide was adequate but didn't add much. I was upset that our reserved tour was more than an hour late getting started and so we sat around almost two hours. So rafting is a great thing to do in this area but not sure this is the best outfit.

Choose upper river - Good experience but we wish we did the upper river. Lower feels like a float trip. It’s for very young kids. Guide was great and tried his best to get us some action.
